" Vim syntax file
" Language:    Mason (Perl embedded in HTML)

" This seems to work satisfactorily with html.vim and perl.vim for version 5.5.
" Please mail any fixes or improvements to the above address. Things that need
" doing include:
"
"  - Add match for component names in <& &> blocks.
"  - Add match for component names in <%def> and <%method> block delimiters.
"  - Fix <%text> blocks to show HTML tags but ignore Mason tags.
"

" First pull in the HTML syntax.

" Now pull in the Perl syntax.
"
syn include @perlTop syntax/perl.vim

" It's hard to reduce down to the correct sub-set of Perl to highlight in some
" of these cases so I've taken the safe option of just using perlTop in all of
" them. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
